The TbFe/FeAl multilayer thin films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering onto glass substrates. The microstructure, magnetic, and magnetostrictive properties of TbFe/FeAl multilayer thin film was investigated at different annealing temperatures. The results indicated that the soft magnetic and magnetostrictive properties for TbFe/FeAlmultilayer thin film compared with TbFe single layer film were obviously improved./n comparison with the intrinsic coercivity JHo of 59.2 kA/m for TbFe single layer film, the intrinsic coercivity jHc for TbFe/FeAl multilayer thin films rapidly dropped to 29.6 kA/m. After optimal annealing （350 ℃×60 min）, magnetic properties of Hs=96 kA/m and jHc=16 kA/m were obtained, and magnetostrictive coefficient could reach to 574×10^-6 under an external magnetic field of 400 kA·m^-1 for the TbFe/FeA1 multilayer thin film.展开更多
